Le Refuge de Solaise

With 4 apartments, 16 hotel rooms and a dormitory, a bar, a restaurant, a spa with a 25 m swimming pool, jacuzzi, hammam and a gym , Le Refuge de Solaise offers a wide range of accommodation for those looking to truly escape. Reached only by the ski slopes and the gondola, the resort becomes cocooned away from the real world when the lifts shut for the day. It's mountaintop location creates long days and starlit nights, with the sun rising two hours earlier and setting three hours later than in the village, and the lack of light pollution allowing the dazzling star-filled sky to shine.

The Standard, Superior and Family Rooms, Family Suites and the Apartments combine the rustic charm of an alpine cabin with panoramic windows flooding them with light.

 All rooms are complete with a TV, minibar, telephone, safe, hairdryer and Wi-Fi access. Beds can be split into singles therefore making the larger rooms and suites great for families but also an excellent space for friends.

The dormitory is a more pared-back affair, sleeping 14 with 4 double beds and 8 single cabin beds tucked into the wooden walls. It  includes a shared bathroom, two toilets, sound system, Wi-Fi, individual lockers and hairdryers. This superb accommodation suits those seeking a unique opportunity to meet like-minded people. Alternatively, the dormitory can be booked on an exclusive basis.

The Apartments are spacious, with eight bedrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows and large living and dining areas affording superb views of the surrounding mountains.

A 25-metre swimming pool, spa and massage treatments add an extra layer of indulgence when not on the slopes. A lounge with library offers space to escape, while a restaurant provides classic and regional dishes to be enjoyed in a sociable and comfortable setting of leather armchairs and a semi-formal alpine decor.

Lying at the top of the Solaise gondola, Le Refuge de Solaise affords privileged access to the slopes. Head out before breakfast and you can glide through pristine virgin powder and untouched pistes, a dream for skiers and snowboarders alike.
